How
can He (Jesus Christ) love me? It seems
a simple question which holds a simple answer…He died for me. We as Christians are trained and equipped to
tell the world of God’s marvelous love in that He sent His son to die on a
cross for us, save us and give us eternal life.
In fact, one of the first verses that we are taught to memorize as
children is John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life”. This verse is used to negate any
debate or question denying God’s love for us.
It is fired off like rounds of ammo to dispel any doubts that may exist
in the minds of the saved or unsaved.
Despite its power and truth, many cannot fathom,
much less comprehend this. To be honest,
I still find that I awake to days that I struggle with this same questions; how
can a God so magnificent, a Savior so pure and a Holy Spirit so gentle love
Beth?
It
is this very question and debate in my mind that I awoke to a few days ago and that I
have struggled with most of my life. Do
I doubt the existence of the Almighty God?
Absolutely not! I believe in Him
more today than I ever have. Do I know
that He loves me? Emphatically, I can
say yes! I know without a doubt that He
loves me. Then what is the problem? The problem is that I cannot comprehend this
at times. It doesn’t mean that I am not
saved or that I lack in faith; it simply means that I struggle with fully
accepting that God can love me this much.
How can this struggle ensue within the mind of a child of God? That question is not easily answered.
